Background & objectives: Wheezing is a common problem in children under five with acute respiratory infections (ARIs). Viruses are known to be responsible for a considerable proportion of ARIs in children. This study was undertaken to know the viral…

Background Respiratory viral and atypical bacterial infections data in Egyptian patients are sparse. This study described the epidemiological pattern of viral and atypical bacteria as causes for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) in…

Background: Since a lot of suspected H5N1 cases with severe ARI manifestation were hospitalized and negative for H5N1, it raised a concern to investigate the other etiologies among hospitalized-suspected H5N1 cases. The aim of present study is to…

Abstract Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes clinical symptoms similar to those observed in dengue and chikungunya virus infections. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated laboratory testing using a real-time…

Molecular techniques can often reveal a broader range of pathogens in respiratory infections. We aim to investigate the prevalence and age pattern of viral co-infection in children hospitalized with lower tract acute respiratory infection (LT-ARI),…

I start with two questions about the Covid-19 pandemic. What does it reveal about us and the reality that surrounds us? How does it transform our forms of life and the world we live in? The multiple interpretations of this crisis, oscillating between…

Because of the constant threat posed by emerging infectious diseases and the limitations of existing approaches used to identify new pathogens, there is a great demand for new technological methods for viral discovery. We describe herein a DNA…

Different species of wild potatoes are distributed in highlands and inter-Andean valleys of Bolivia. In recent years, potato virus’s incidence has been reported in native and modern varieties of Andean areas of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, which could…

The dominant viral etiologies responsible for acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are poorly understood, particularly among hospitalized children in resource-limited tropical countries where morbidity and mortality caused by ARIs are highest.…
